Review : Clinique Acne Solutions;cleansing foam and clarifying lotion

Hello , I'm back and decided to add reviews of products that use personally to my blog ...
Here is the review of the Clinique product that used for my acne.

In few months ago suddenly I stared to get break out again, specially in my cheek area where I have some pores and slightly sensitive skin.I usually try OXY-5 for sudden breakout and it worked perfectly before, but with this new situation, it had not affected the breakouts at all and it made my skin very very sensitive, so I decided to look for something new.
I am a big fan of Clinique beauty products, but this was the first time I was trying something from their skin care line. so let's get to the point; here is my review:

I started using Clinique Acne solution cleansing foam (step1 ) and clarifying lotion (step2) at the beginning of March , minimum of once a day ( however sometimes I washed my face at night too). instead of acne solution clearing moisturizer (step3) I used my own oil-free moisturizer ( by Lise Watier).
I did not see the results very fast, even my breakouts got worse and increased surprisingly for the first 3 weeks.After 1.5 months my skin started to be clear of breakout, it still has some spots (red tiny spots) from the breakouts. And it did not affected my pores ( I mean they did not get reduced or something)

no dry out

no redness due to acne medication

cleaned the pores perfectly

did not see the results fast and still got acne

did not affected my pore sizes

Final comments:
For me was just a basic face cleansing step since it did not effected my acne fast enough. but it give you a perfectly clean and clear skin eventually. for my breakout treatments I won't probably go back to these.

About Me

wellcome to my blog

Well, Hello there. I'm Mania. Wellcome to my Blog.

I love beautiful things: Design, art, photography, flowers, landscapes, pottery, jewellery, fashion, colours, music, people. I love to smile, basically I smile all the time and when I am not definitely something is wrong.

I love cooking and baking and eating. I enjoy experiencing new food and recipes. I try to have a healthy appetite but I do not ban myself from eating anything.

I enjoy keeping healthy and active. I like working out and doing exercises, yoga, taking walks and being outdoors.I enjoy dancing and dancing related workouts at gym and I’d like to do a bit more of them specially Latin dancing.

I’m a bit obsessed about shopping. Clothes, shoes, jewellery, make up and anything girly. But I’m a careful shopper; I’m always on the hunt for a bargain and deals. I do consider myself as a good shopper (which was also told by my friends), I am always on the search of well priced items which does not necessary means cheap, as cheap items will turn out to have cheap qualities too.

I enjoy being crafty, like drawing, painting, sewing, knitting and I wish I had more time to do each one of them.

I love going out, sitting in cafes, dining out, house gatherings, parties, barbecues, picnics! I live in a place that has winter for almost 6 months, so I cherish every minute of summer weather by outdoor activity of any kind.In winter times, I can’t think of anything more satisfying than sitting in front of TV, relaxing on a mushy couch, eating take-outs, lights on low, in my PJs and watching TV or reading. I’m a home girl at heart. I also love to go to movies, theatre, musicals, and spectacle occasionally.

Basically, I try to live a balanced life. Fun. Serious. Fast. Slow. Brainy. Relax. Intense. Lazy. My working situation is kinda serious, intense so I try to balance everything with my other passions. This blog is where I write about things I love to do, things that help me to keep my life in balance
